Backup keeps crashing with Snow Leopard

Question

Anyone still using Backup, the Apple program, to still back up certain smaller files to iDisk? I was until I upgraded to Snow Leopard, and now all of a sudden Backup just crashes every time I try to use it.
I use TIme Machine and that's great for local backups, but insist on backing up important files (like Quicken) to a remote sight in case of a major catastrophe. Any ideas how to back up to iDisk automatically if Backup no longer works?

Hey - I have the same issue with Backup and iPhoto.
I understand what you wrote about Backup's limits - though I can't see any logic in such a limit. Backup needs to look at file sizes or dates and transport them to a destination. Regardless of size (?!)
In the case of IPhoto I've made the same mistake and upgradet iDisk, only to find out that Backup 3.1.2 reports a "no space left on the device". As I understand the iPhoto Library folder it's just a fancy look for a 100% regular folder with sub-folders and jpg files.
None of my (single) pictures are >90mb .. so while they take up a lot of space when counted all-in-all, I can't see that as a reason for Backup to reject the upload/transport ?
I realize it would take quite some time to upload my 13Gb picture collection in the first batch, but was counting on Backup to only upload pictures with newer dates in the future. So uploading a couple of hundred mb's once in a while would be very much achievable on a household upstream connection.
My questions:
1. Why upgrade a iDisk to 40+ Gb if Apple have no method of backing up peoples images ? Everybody have digital cameras and if the iPhoto Library folder is percieved as one big file .. then 90mb is a very very unusable limit !
2. Can any of you name a transporter software/ftp thingie that will do as described above ?
3. Can iDisk handle the iPhoto Lib if you manually drag it up ? (just to know if we're only searching for an alternative to Backup 3.1.2. or to iDisk itself)
Thanks in advance
